Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has presented a seven-day plan to the US to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, a move that directly counters the previous escalation narrative. This diplomatic breakthrough has triggered a relief rally in global markets, with oil prices easing and equities opening higher. The development dampens the bearish energy and shipping thesis, replacing it with a risk-on sentiment that favors consumer discretionary and growth sectors previously penalized for war risk premiums.
